Next, let's find the answer together!
First, smooth food is the best.
Such as pear (eaten raw or steamed before eating), lily, Polygonatum odoratum, Adenophora adenophora, Dendrobium, water chestnut, Lycium barbarum and so on. It can moisten the heart and lungs and nourish the stomach yin. Gummy or sticky foods also have the effect of "moistening dryness", such as tremella, kelp, yam, lotus root, okra, mushroom, sea cucumber and jellyfish skin.
The old Chinese doctor said that eating pig's trotters is because pig's skin is rich in gum, which can moisten it, but if people who usually exercise less are afraid of eating pig's trotters too oily, they can take vegetable gum instead. In addition, oily nuts, such as sesame seeds, almonds, cooked peanuts and so on. It can also achieve the effect of relaxing bowels. As for fried, roasted, spicy and other hot and dry foods, we should try to avoid them, so as not to consume body fluids and aggravate the symptoms of autumn dryness.
Second, drink more water.
If you want to get rid of autumn dryness, you must nourish yin, and the key point of nourishing yin is to keep water. Besides eating more smooth food, water intake is also essential. It is recommended to drink a cup of warm water after getting up in the morning, which can make the whole digestive system awake and the intestines start to creep, so you will want to go to the toilet, and of course you will not be constipated. But don't drink cold water, because people's spleen and stomach like warm and avoid cold, and drinking too much water below room temperature is harmful to the body.
It is important to drink more water, and the method of drinking water should also be paid attention to. When drinking water, it is best to drink it in small sips, several times, and don't fill it too much at a time, otherwise the body can't absorb and distribute it effectively. Drinking too much water is like a sudden heavy rain, especially for people with poor circulation and easy blockage of meridians, which will cause local floods, that is, edema.
Third, drink more honey water.
In addition, Chinese medicine also has a little secret recipe for replenishing water, that is, drinking honey water. Honey can moisten dryness, clear heat, moisten lung, relieve cough, relax bowels and moisturize skin. When it is mixed with water, it can not only replenish water, but also prevent many dry symptoms caused by autumn dryness and resist aging. It is a simple prescription for keeping in good health in autumn. However, because honey may contain some anaerobic bacteria, infants, people who are too sensitive to the gastrointestinal tract, or people who eat sweets and are prone to stomach acid should avoid eating them.
People who like tea can make tea with chrysanthemum in autumn, and semi-fermented oolong tea is also a good choice. Moderate drinking helps to moisten the throat, promote fluid production and clear away accumulated heat in the body.
Fourth, porridge with moisturizing and moistening effects.
If you can eat some warm porridge or medicated porridge for breakfast in autumn, it can be said to be a good recipe for health, especially for people with spleen and stomach deficiency and poor digestion and absorption. Eating porridge helps to strengthen the spleen and stomach and replenish qi. Lily porridge, tremella porridge, almond porridge, lotus seed porridge, nut porridge and sesame paste are all good healthy breakfasts.
Chinese medicine reminds that the elderly, people with weak constitution, or people who obviously feel uncomfortable every winter should recuperate and maintain their bodies from autumn, drink more water, eat more food that nourishes yin and moistens dryness, and enhance their resistance.
